Yet another reason to be happy!
I had some small Revelations today while I was in my institute class. I worry more about the big things, big problems etc... the things I can't totally control, when really if all I worried about were the small things in my life, the big things would then all sort themselves out. The small things that I kinda just breeze over really contribute more then I have paid attention to. My happiness really depends more on me reading, (and truly sacrificing some of my time to really get something from it) and praying, (you know the heartfelt, on your knees kind, where you actually talk to God!) ...if I paid attention to these small and simple things... those stupid big problems I have, or think I have, would take care of themselves, maybe not disappear, *dang it! but they wouldn't seem quite as insurmountable. I would then maybe realize who I am, and that I am truly capable of overcoming quite a bit. (I'd better be careful, or a certain Being, a.k.a God, might decide I need to prove that!)
In class we were having a discussion about the 88th section of the Doctrine and Covenants. Verse 58 kinda touched me, and reminded me of the infinite love my Heavenly Father has for me. It states that "...they all received the light of the countenance of their lord every man in his hour, and in his time, and in his season-" everyone received that which the lord intended... precisely when and how they needed it most. God has blessings in store for every one of His children... most of the time we just have to accept, and be worthy for them, to be poured out upon us in abundance. There are certain things that God will bless me with.... (and has) experiences etc... but they will come, and have come, when they will mean the most to me, when I need them, or when I will understand them better. Just like everyone else, I will receive what is in store for me, but not necessarily when others do. But we all will receive all that is promised, when we keep up with our part! I am Loved, God Loves Me, God loves all of His children. Aren't we soooo blessed! The church is true! I KNOW IT!

What a great scripture!! It's one I totally needed, thanks for sharing. It really is about the little things, how often we forget. I like that he blesses us in his own timing too, that makes me feel better just knowing I can trust him and it will all work out in time! Thanks for this post!! Hope you are doing well! :)
I agree, I agree, I agree
